WANDER, SYLVIA (Disney XD)
Disney XD has cancelled its animated Wander Over Yonder TV series after the second season. Creator Craig McCracken broke the news that there would be no third season, on Tumblr.
The voice cast of Wander Over Yonder stars Jack McBrayer as Wander and April Winchell as Sylvia. Lord Hater is voiced by Keith Ferguson. Tom Kenny voices Commander Peepers. Sam Riegel recurs as Emperor Awesome. Fred Tatasciore voices the masked Lord Dominator. Noël Wells supplies the character’s unmasked voice.
Here is how McCracken broke the cancellation news, on Tumblr:
Wander over Yonder over?
I’ve been seeing a lot of speculation lately on whether or not Wander will be returning for a 3rd season. Unfortunately, the answer is no.
About a year ago we presented a pitch for a season 3 arc that promised to bring our characters together in new, unexpected, and hilarious ways. And just as S2 evolved from S1, we had a really exciting approach to evolving S3 even further. We had plans for new characters, the return of old characters, and even a bit of backstory! We were all really excited about the new direction and so were our bosses at DisneyXD and TVA.
Unfortunately, the higher up bosses of bosses of bosses at Disney decided not to continue with the show. It’s not that they didn’t like Wander, they just felt that 2 seasons and 80 cartoons was enough and they didn’t see the need to produce any more.
For the record, this decision had nothing to do with the ratings performance of S2. Truth be told, we were informed that we wouldn’t be continuing before S2 even premiered.
I’d like to take this opportunity to thank the fans who spread the word about Wander and encouraged people to try and watch it on air.
I know this news is kind of a bummer, but the recent surge in fandom from My Fair Hatey along with our win at the Annie’s for Outstanding Children’s Series has really made me and the whole Wander team feel that we are ending on a high note!
So thanks, and as Wander says…
We gave it a go,
put on a heck of a show,
and did a lot of fun stuff we’ll get to laugh about after!
And for those keeping track we have 7 half hours left of S2 that will wrap up sometime in June.
Thanks for watchin’ and wanderin’!

Are you a fan of the Wander Over Yonder TV show? Do you think Disney XD was right to cancel it, or should it have been renewed for a third season? Sound off, in the comments.
Why would you cancel it? Everybody loves one rupee under. It is super cute. I love you every day to have a season 3+ maybe even a season four does I know I will be happy and I know everyone else might be too.
season 3!, season 3!!, season 3!!!…pleeeeeaaaaaaseee!!!!!!….and thank you
As angry as I am, I do have to say that. 80 cartoons/episodes is a decent running time for a show and I can understand why they cancelled. I’m just really sad to see this, knowing that we’ll never see more of Wander, Sylvia, Peepers, or Hater. And as much as I want to shout at Disney. The team behind Wander Over Yonder were happy to end on high note, so as Wander said in The Breakfast, “I’m just happy, that you’re happy”. Also SaveWOY, I hope for the day that season 3 becomes a reality.
I just finished the last episode in season 2 on demand, and I was starting to become very sad. it wasn’t the usual excitement I get after finishing a series. I wanted more. so I got on my Chromebook and searched up to see if there was a sequel to the show. then I read that it would be discontinued and probably never heard from again. this makes me so sad, I just wanna protest. I mean, sure Wander Over Yonder was made about 7 years ago, but it still breaks my heart. Disney is already evil and stuck up… Read more »
